Ariel Hardy the 1st has spines

 
Ariel Hardy the 1st and her daughters have beautiful foliage. They look very soft
and wonderful to touch but beware........


If you touch the tops of the leaf you are fine. If you grab a handful of the leaves and stroke you will get lots of spines to pull out of your hand. They now have warning signs in front of them to remind us to be careful.

Ariel the 1st survived her move from Jane's bed - even through several hard freezes right after she was moved. Her two daughters are struggling a bit since it has been warm and sunny since they got moved. It will be interesting to watch them grow and hopefully produce artichokes.

Ariel is certainly taking off.... I can't wait to see these in bloom.
